Underpinning RAS Technologies

Technologies that cut across the four main focus areas of the Network (healthcare, transportation, manufacturing and unmanned systems for aerospace, marine, environment and defence) are essential to facilitate the research, development, and operation of RAS systems. Underpinning and cross cutting technologies cover a wide range of areas from sensing and perception to human-robot interaction.

and human-robot interaction, simulation and teleoperation across scales.

General topics in novel mechanisms and high performance actuators, learning and adaption, architecture, compliance and interactive shared control and planning will be addressed. Allied topics related to AI, machine vision, cognitive and behavioural sciences, software engineering, ethical, legal, social and safety issues, decision support and communication technologies will also be covered, particularly within the scope of the four RAS CDTs.
